I loved the quote from ALice in the Mirror by Lewis Carroll. One of my favourite books....

Link to video galeria with 6 trailers and to their Facebook page
And thank you a lot for having provided the link! I saved their photos and th actors' names, because they can be of use for characters in my games.

I took them over here, giving direct link to this page and credits to both of you. Thank you very much, we have master gunners both French and English (pirates, privateers too) and it comes very handy.

You are among brethren... even if the plundering methods of some of us do differ!

Welcome aboard! We are all friends here, even if our pillaging methods differ sometimes...
And some exchange of experience is always good!

The song, "If I was a black bird", is an Irish sailor's song, and the movie was made by my husband, as a surprise for Valentine's day for the members of "Before the Mast". The graphics have been done by two people from the game and they comprise the characters involved, at that moment, in romance threads or merely flirting. -
Many happy returns!

Many happy returns of the day!

Who is actually this Pierce Cullen you mention? I googled and I didn't find anybody from the Age of Sail with this name!

Thank you,. Foxe, it was more than enough. :)
Of course, when somebody describes a sailor who wears boots (in the books where I had read it or in my games - because I asked about it now and not before, simply because I was curious when I read it on various sites that it is not recommendable, but I forgot to ask until I saw a new sailor described as wearing boots in an application on my game) they are not described what kind of boots.
There is evidence of boots being worn by seafarers. For example, a calf-length boot was recovered from the wreck of the Vasa (1620s, so a bit early), and an ankle-length laced boot was recovered from the wreck of HMS Stirling Castle (1703), and there is evidence of fishermen wearing long boots.
Well, somehow I knew too that sailors wore boots. And this was exactly why I was wondering why several sites said "no boots, but shoes" - which, in my opinion, were for richer, more elegant people. (When I said "boots", I didn't think about Jack Sparrow's, but something simpler and cheaper).

I saw mentioned in this forum and maybe somewhere else for reenactors that they should use buckled shoes and no way boots. But boots existed before the Age of Sail, as far as I know (and I have read about various people being described in books). Then... why?
I really want to know...

I am inviting you "Before the Mast" and offering you my crew of the "Caribbean Siren", where you don't need any more clothes than the ones you can describe in writing
We are always looking for new pirates (or privateers) ready to write a good story with us! (And not jealous if you join also another crew which asks from you more than sitting in front of your PC and writing a story with us).
Ahoy the forum!

If you don't have time/money/ possibility to DO something piratey, you can always write something in the genre! And maybe one of the Age of Sail games linked in my signature might get you inspired...
